2005 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

(92-94 Points ----- Burghound)

A reserved and notably ripe earth-infused nose of red and dark berry fruit that possess a subtle sauvage character leads to Cistercian caliber youthfully austere flavors that are big, structured, well muscled and powerful and while not raw, it's clear that this will need time to settle down and find their center. This is not an elegant wine but the potential is considerable and I especially like the bold character. A wine that will last 3 to 4 decades. Tasted: Apr 01, 2007 Drink: 2020+ Burghound Issue 26
